ATEN is well known for delivering innovative technologies that drive connectivity and access management
solutions. As such, we introduce the new ATEN KE8950 / KE8952 4K HDMI KVM over IP Extender that brings
together a unique blend of features and new technologies that offer the ultimate solution for extending
computers to consoles on or off your IT infrastructure.
Utilizing expertise in over IP KVM solutions, KE8950 and KE8952 are IP-based HDMI KVM extenders that allow
access to a computer system from a remote USB console to anywhere over an intranet. The KE8950 and KE8952
KVM over IP Extenders support one HDMI monitor at each end, providing a greatly improved video display image
with 4K x 2K video resolution (up to 3840 x 2160). KE8950 and KE8952 also support 1Gbps SFP fiber module
expansions, enabling connections via fiber optic network to extend distances in transmission. Furthermore, the
KE8952 features Power over Ethernet (PoE) function, the power can be supplied through a PoE Network Switch;
therefore, eliminating the need for a power adapter and effectively reducing the power configuration cost.
The 4K HDMI KVM over IP Extender consists of a Transmitter unit that connects to the computer and a Receiver
unit that provides console access from a separate location. The computer is accessed from the remote console
over a standard TCP/IP network via Cat 5e/6 cable that allows point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-
point, and multipoint-to-multipoint administration. KE8950 and KE8952 can be connected either directly to each
other or via a high-speed network, over a copper-based or fiber-based LAN.
Implementing the KE Matrix Management Software (CCKM) with KE8950 / KE8952, IT administrators receive
advanced features functioning as auto detection of all KE Series Extenders* on the same subnet for the sake of
fast installation or configuration, username/password authentication and authorization, and the ability to define
different types of connections that can be switched and shared. Security features also provide extra protection,
supporting AES encryption for secured data transmissions, while RADIUS, LDAP, AD or remote user authentication
provides an added layer of connection security; moreover, with an OSD, RS-232 support, and Auto MDIX, the KE
series is the most cost-effective and convenient way to get a full digital extension from anywhere on the intranet.
More flexible and efficient operations can be achieved in the KVM over IP Matrix System, which integrates KE
Series Extenders with the CCKM management software, such as multi-display setups, video grouping, video
profile scheduling and enhancements that give greater access to quick and easy control tools to configure
KE devices over a network. Whether you're configuring, monitoring, administrating, controlling or extending
computer access, the KVM over IP Matrix System is made adaptable, to fit an endless variety of working
environments and workstation settings, as well as to provide solutions in broadcasting, control center,
multimedia, manufacturing and many other industries where matrix extending is required.
* KE Series Extenders include KE6900, KE6900ST, KE6940, KE8950, and KE8952.
